A Thought On Sunday

Let's Talk To One Another

From the desk of Fr.Ignatius Waters CP

Sunday, May 13 2012

I’m sure Archbishop Martin doesn’t read our Bulletin but on Monday morning I was happy to see in the Irish Times what he said when asked what should be done about priests censured or silenced. These are his words: “We need to have a way in which, if things are said or written which go outside the realm of Catholic teaching, they should be resolved in an area of dialogue.” Exactly what I was trying to say last week! But then he is very helpful in suggesting how this might be done: “The best way would be to do it first of all in Ireland. I think the Theological Commission of the Irish Bishops has not carried out its function as in other countries where this dialogue would take place as a first stage, then be resolved without it necessarily going to Rome at all.”

The Catholic Church in Ireland is embarking on a journey of spiritual and practical preparation for the Fiftieth International Eucharistic Congress, which will take place in Dublin from June 10 to June 17, 2012.

The theme of the Congress is, The Eucharist:  Communion with Christ and with one another.

One of the central mysteries of our faith is the incarnation.  The Son of God took on our human nature and lived our human reality, including our experience of suffering and death.  This means that the Eucharist has something to say about every truly human experience. 

To get more details, click on the Congress logo, top left.  This will bring you to the official site for the International Eucharistic Congress and there you will find the latest information about plans, events, and opportunities to volunteer.
